Yaya Toure open to moving to Man Utd where he could 'teach Paul Pogba some things'

Yaya Toure believes he would be a good “teacher” to Paul Pogba as the outgoing Manchester City midfielder admitted he would not rule out a move to Old Trafford. Toure is a free agent this summer after Pep Guardiola opted not to renew his contract at the Premier League champions but the Ivorian midfielder has indicated that he would not be averse to making the switch across the city to rivals Manchester United. Jose Mourinho is in the market for at least one central midfielder following the retirement of Michael Carrick, with United working on a deal for Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fred. But Mourinho could be forced into the market for a second midfielder if Marouane Fellaini, who has attracted interest from AC Milan, fails to agree a new contract. With United already targeting two full backs, a centre-half and a winger, Toure would be a relatively cheap midfield option for Mourinho. And the 35-year-old says he would be open to the transfer, despite his allegiance to City where he spent eight years, as he weighs up his next career move.

The big teams are very important for me. What they want to achieve, the way they want to go, for me is very important. “I want to go somewhere I can win and achieve. It’s going to be hard one day to play against City, but I have to do that. It is part of my job. I’ve been playing football for such a long time, I’m no good in the office or something else. I am good in football. “To see myself at a different club is going to be difficult. I have been such a big part of City for such a long time now. I just want to say that definitely I will continue to play at a high level – Champions League or Europa League. I want to play two more years. They have to be in the higher level and then I can do something else.” Toure, who is keen to stay in England despite offers from China, the Middle East and America, believes he could also help improve Pogba, whose future at Old Trafford is uncertain after a deeply disappointing second season at Old Trafford.

I was working for that for a long time. “When I was in the academy in Africa I had to run everywhere, get box to box in 50 seconds. “Pogba is the same size, power – but different in the way he wants to go, technically as well, the ability to score goals as well. It is a player I want to play with, to be honest, just to teach him some things. “Pogba is a great player. He’s a fantastic player. He’s a little bit young at the moment. “Criticism is a part of life. If they criticise you it’s because they want you to be good or be better. I’ve been criticised and I love to be criticised.

Even if you continue to be at the peak of your game, sometimes they are going to find something to tell you. It’s part of life. We have to deal with that.” Asked if he genuinely saw his next move at United, Toure sounded a note of caution. “No, no, no, no. The fans are going to kill me!” he laughed.

Champions League final 2018: When is Liverpool vs Real Madrid, what TV channel is it on and what is the venue?

What is it? For the first time since 1981, Real Madrid and Liverpool will compete in the final of the European Cup in a mouth-watering match to decide who will be awarded the coveted Champions League trophy. The defending champions and 12-time winners Real are bidding for their third successive title while Liverpool are seeking the sixth in their history. When is it? Saturday, May 26, 2018. Where is it? The 2018 Champions League final will be held at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine. It is the home of Dynamo Kiev. The stadium previously hosted the Euro 2012 final and holds a maximum capacity of 63,000 - the second largest in eastern Europe. What time is kick-off? 7.45pm BST. What TV channel is it on? BT Sport 1. But you can also watch the match for free on the BT Sport app or via BTSport.com. Liverpool in Europe: Finals ranked and rated What happened in the semi-finals? In the first semi, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Sven Ulreich committed a huge blunder as holders Real edged into the final. Ulreich missed a backpass to gift a vital second goal to Karim Benzema at the Bernabeu Stadium, and the Frenchman's double in a pulsating 2-2 draw ensured Real progressed 4-3 on aggregate. Bayern had led early through Joshua Kimmich and a strike from James Rodriguez - who is on loan at the German club from Real - set up a tense finish. However, the hosts withstood considerable pressure to keep their bid for a third successive title on track. Just confirming this actually happened and is not a FIFA '18 bugpic.twitter.com/nNsfSDZvm4— Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) May 1, 2018 The following night, Liverpool set up a repeat of their 1981 meeting against Real despite a first Champions League defeat of the season at the Stadio Olimpico. A chaotic 4-2 semi-final second leg loss to Roma saw Liverpool progress 7-6 on aggregate, with victory secured thanks to Sadio Mane's 19th of the season and the rare sight of Georginio Wijnaldum's first away goal in almost three years. A fortuitous own goal by James Milner inbetween had put the hosts back in the game, while Edin Dzeko's strike shortly after half-time ensured the Reds endured a testing conclusion and two late goals for Radja Nainngolan - including a penalty with the last kick of the game - came too late for Roma. Roma v Liverpool Can I still get tickets? The window for buying standard tickets is now closed. It ran on Uefa's website from March 15-22. Hospitality tickets are still on sale on Uefa's website, with prices starting from €3,200 per person. How do I get to Kiev? The City has two airports, Zhulyany (8km south-west of the city centre) and Boryspil International (35km east). Public transport includes buses, trolleybuses, trams and an ever-expanding metro system.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has said his team will be "on fire" for the final: "We were in a League Cup final and didn't win it. People don't tell me in the street since then: 'Thank you for bringing us to the final'. We were in the Europa League final too. Nobody tells me thank you. "I see no trophies after these games. They don't hang silver medals at Melwood. That's a pity, but that's the game. There's still a job to do. "You cannot be more experienced in this competition than Real Madrid. "I think 80 per cent of their team played all these finals. They are four times in the last five years and still together. They are experienced, we are not, but we will be really on fire." Liverpool vs Real Madrid: Head-to-head Road to the final Zinedine Zidane's side won their first two games but a home draw with Tottenham followed by a loss at Wembley meant they finished second in their group. Despite failing behind to Paris St Germain at the Bernabeu, they won 5-2 on aggregate in the last 16 then overcame an almighty scare against Juventus, advancing thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's last-gasp penalty despite a 3-1 home loss. A semi-final first leg victory in Munich proved pivotal as a 2-2 draw with Bayern in Spain got them over the line. Liverpool had to come through a qualifying round against Hoffenheim and then drew the opening two games in their group. They also threw away a three-goal lead against Sevilla in a 3-3 draw but thumped both Maribor and Spartak Moscow to finish top of Group E. They beat Porto 5-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie, won both legs in the all-English clash with Manchester City and then saw off Roma 7-6 on aggregate following a 5-2 first-leg win at Anfield. Who fizzed and who flopped in the Champions League semi-final decider? Star men Real have the current Ballon d'or winner. Liverpool may have the next one. Cristiano Ronaldo is the Champions League's all-time leading scorer - with 120 goals, Real Madrid's all-time top scorer and a four-time winner of the competition. Ronaldo, who turned 33 this year, has scored 42 club goals this season. Yet Mohamed Salah has already exceeded that tally. The former Roma winger has enjoyed an incredible first season at Anfield, becoming just the third player in Liverpool history to score 40-plus goals in a single season and winning a slew of personal accolades. If he can outshine Ronaldo in Kiev, the ultimate individual prize may be next. Managers Zidane and Jurgen Klopp have experienced contrasting fortunes in finals. The former has won both of the Champions League finals he has been involved in as a boss. Meanwhile, Klopp has lost his previous five finals as a manage, including in the Europa League against Sevilla two seasons ago. Jurgen Klopp celebrates with his players Credit: GETTY IMAGES Tactics Real have not been as dominant as previous seasons, when their BBC (Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Ronaldo) strikeforce was in full flow and Luka Modric and Toni Kroos ran the midfield. This team is more pragmatic. Centre-backs Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane and defensive midfielder Casemiro form a strong spine and Zidane can usually rely on Ronaldo for a moment of magic. Klopp's gegenpressing style has been used to devastating effect this year thanks to the relentless front three of Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. Liverpool will pin their hopes on that trio and their harassing style. History This is a meeting of the two of the most decorated clubs in the competition's history. No team has won more European Cups than Real Madrid's 12. Los Blancos won five in a row between 1956 and 1960 and last year they become the first club to retain the title in the Champions League era. Only Real and AC Milan have won more European Cups than Liverpool. The five-time winners' most recent success came in an astonishing 2005 final against AC Milan, who exacted revenge in the 2007 final. The Reds also beat Real in the 1981 final when Alan Kennedy scored the winner. Goals aplenty made Roma vs Liverpool a semi-final to sing and dance about Salah vs Ronaldo: A comparison Liverpool and Real Madrid will be looking to Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo to make the difference for their respective teams on May 26. Here, we look at the numbers behind the two players' astonishing campaigns: Club appearances (all competitions): Salah (Liverpool) 49, Ronaldo (Real Madrid) 41 Club goals (all competitions): Salah 43, Ronaldo 42 Domestic league goals: Salah 31, Ronaldo 24 Domestic league assists: Salah 9, Ronaldo 5 Champions League goals (includes qualifiers): Salah 11, Ronaldo 15 Champions League assists (includes qualifiers): Salah 4, Ronaldo 2 Braces: Salah 7, Ronaldo 11 Hat-tricks: Salah 0, Ronaldo 1 Four goals in a game: Salah 1, Ronaldo 1 Longest scoring streak: Salah 7 games, Ronaldo 12 games Longest run without a goal: Salah 3 games, Ronaldo 3 games *Includes all competitive games except internationals. How Spanish sides have dominated past decade What are the odds? Real Madrid to win 6/5 Draw 11/4 Liverpool to win 2/1 What is our prediction? Real have not been as dominant as previous seasons, although they still managed to see off PSG, Juventus and Bayern Munich en route to the final. If Liverpool are to win, much will depend on their front three of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane and their harassing style. There will be goals aplenty, and this feels like Liverpool's time. Predicted score: Liverpool win 4-3 in extra time. Liverpool's Champions League campaign | In Numbers

Zinedine Zidane: I wouldn't swap any Real Madrid player for Mo Salah

On paper, there is nothing this season to separate Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah, each boasting 44 goals in all competitions and each building a persuasive case to capture the Ballon d’Or. But when invited yesterday to choose, Zinedine Zidane was adamant. “I would not swap Cristiano, or any of my players,” said the Real Madrid manager, galvanising his team in their quest for a third Champions League title in a row. “Liverpool have a brilliant front three, everyone talks about their attackers, but we can find ways to damage them. We fear nothing.” It was this type of attitude that pervaded Valdebebas, Real’s gleaming, manicured training compound, carved out of the arid scrub beside Barajas Airport. One would have hesitated to call it hubris, more a serene conviction that an extension of supremacy was theirs for the taking. Where other institutions might be superstitious about the number 13, Real plastered it everywhere here, regarding a 13th European Cup triumph less as an ambition than a fate preordained. Take Toni Kroos, for example. The German midfield conjurer, not a man given to hyperbole, predicted that he and his team-mates would confront “11 animals” in Kiev on Saturday night. And yet he did not appear remotely unnerved by the prospect, explaining that Real would counter Liverpool’s ferocity with composure and precision. “We will be better on the ball,” said Kroos, the anchoring figure who has variously been described as the “axle” and “one-man orchestra” for this Real side, with Barcelona’s Xavi anointing him as his natural successor in the game. “I am calm, not very nervous – that’s my character. I have a lot of confidence from my previous finals, which allows me not to have the same nerves as some other players. I don’t see Liverpool being hungrier than us. European Cup final 2018 | Real Madrid vs Liverpool “To end up in three Champions League finals, you must be at the top in terms of motivation. If not, you don’t beat Paris St-Germain, Juventus and Bayern Munich in succession.” Throughout an hour of open training yesterday, Real showcased their slickness to full effect. It is at moments like this that the value of Zidane, for all the doubts over his future stirred by a distant third-place finish in La Liga, becomes clear. Time and again, during volleying practice, he delivered the ball on a dime for Ronaldo and Luka Modric to crack it into the top corner. It was as if the pair were trying to replicate their manager’s own greatest goal, a delicious volley to win the Champions League for Real in 2002. Ronaldo, Zidane knows, represents the key to Real adding to their unparalleled loot. In each of their past two European finals, he was front and centre, providing the decisive penalty in Milan in 2016 and scoring two of the deftest goals in last June’s glory over Juventus in Cardiff. While his form dipped periodically over the past domestic campaign, Zidane expressed little doubt that the competition’s top scorer would be rejuvenated when it mattered most. “I believe that a player knows he may have a complex moment, but for Cristiano it’s the other way round,” he said. “When he doesn’t score, he still knows that he will score three or four times in a row. “Some players cannot handle pressure. But with him, the more pressure you create, the more you criticise, the better he plays. He is the best, so he will be of the utmost importance.” Ronaldo size Ronaldo, for his part, left no room for confusion in anticipating what Saturday’s outcome would be. “I have a lot of respect for Liverpool, but I think Madrid are better,” the Portuguese said. “We need to recognise the history we can make and to show our experience.” There was no evidence of the ankle injury that Ronaldo sustained earlier this month in the 2-2 draw with bitter rivals Barcelona. Indeed, he played and scored against Villarreal last weekend, promising that he would be “120 per cent” fit for Kiev. The one imponderable in Zidane’s plans concerns the role of Gareth Bale. While the Welsh winger has hinted at a return to his best in recent weeks, with four goals in three games, the state of his relationship with the manager seldom seems rock-solid. In particular, Zidane’s decision to leave him on the substitutes’ bench for the 2-1 semi-final win over Bayern was a chastening blow. Bale stands poised to claim a remarkable fourth Champions League winner’s medal in five years if he can overcome Zidane’s reservations, but for now the smart money is on the Frenchman keeping faith with Isco for the final.

The former has won both of the Champions League finals he has been involved in as a boss. Meanwhile, Klopp has lost his previous five finals as a manage, including in the Europa League against Sevilla two seasons ago. Jurgen Klopp celebrates with his players Credit: GETTY IMAGES Tactics Real have not been as dominant as previous seasons, when their BBC (Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Ronaldo) strikeforce was in full flow and Luka Modric and Toni Kroos ran the midfield. This team is more pragmatic. Centre-backs Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane and defensive midfielder Casemiro form a strong spine and Zidane can usually rely on Ronaldo for a moment of magic. Klopp's gegenpressing style has been used to devastating effect this year thanks to the relentless front three of Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. Liverpool will pin their hopes on that trio and their harassing style. History This is a meeting of the two of the most decorated clubs in the competition's history. No team has won more European Cups than Real Madrid's 12. Los Blancos won five in a row between 1956 and 1960 and last year they become the first club to retain the title in the Champions League era. Only Real and AC Milan have won more European Cups than Liverpool. The five-time winners' most recent success came in an astonishing 2005 final against AC Milan, who exacted revenge in the 2007 final. The Reds also beat Real in the 1981 final when Alan Kennedy scored the winner. Goals aplenty made Roma vs Liverpool a semi-final to sing and dance about Salah vs Ronaldo: A comparison Liverpool and Real Madrid will be looking to Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo to make the difference for their respective teams on May 26. Here, we look at the numbers behind the two players' astonishing campaigns: Club appearances (all competitions): Salah (Liverpool) 49, Ronaldo (Real Madrid) 41 Club goals (all competitions): Salah 43, Ronaldo 42 Domestic league goals: Salah 31, Ronaldo 24 Domestic league assists: Salah 9, Ronaldo 5 Champions League goals (includes qualifiers): Salah 11, Ronaldo 15 Champions League assists (includes qualifiers): Salah 4, Ronaldo 2 Braces: Salah 7, Ronaldo 11 Hat-tricks: Salah 0, Ronaldo 1 Four goals in a game: Salah 1, Ronaldo 1 Longest scoring streak: Salah 7 games, Ronaldo 12 games Longest run without a goal: Salah 3 games, Ronaldo 3 games *Includes all competitive games except internationals. How Spanish sides have dominated past decade What are the odds? Real Madrid to win 6/5 Draw 11/4 Liverpool to win 2/1 What is our prediction? Real have not been as dominant as previous seasons, although they still managed to see off PSG, Juventus and Bayern Munich en route to the final. If Liverpool are to win, much will depend on their front three of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane and their harassing style. There will be goals aplenty, and this feels like Liverpool's time. Predicted score: Liverpool win 4-3 in extra time. Liverpool's Champions League campaign | In Numbers

Paul Pogba has added to the uncertainty over his future by refusing to rule out a move from Manchester United this summer as Alexis Sanchez admitted he has struggled to adapt to Jose Mourinho’s style of play. Pogba and Sanchez have become a symbol for United’s struggles during a troubling second half of the season in which the club finished without a trophy, Mourinho has clashed with or frozen out a number of players and concerns have grown about the brand of football. Mourinho said earlier this month that he thought Pogba would stay beyond the summer but the France midfielder did little to dispel the doubts over his future when he offered no assurances in an interview that he will still be a United player next season. “You’re never sure of anything,” he told Canal+, the French television station, on Sunday. “Contractually, it’s on, yes.” Pogba delivered another below par performance in United’s FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday and his relationship with manager Mourinho has become strained in recent months. Mourinho and Pogba's relationship has become strained Credit: Reuters He has been dropped from squads, left out of the starting XI and substituted in a series of games since the turn of the year as his form has plummeted and there have been reports that Mourinho would be willing to cash in on his club record £89 million signing if the right offer came along. Paris St-Germain are monitoring Pogba but the midfielder suggested it was unlikely he would countenance a move to the French champions. Ruling out PSG would limit Pogba’s options, though, since few clubs could afford his transfer fee and wages. “Walking on the Parc des Princes? With a club, no, for sure,” Pogba said. “Honestly, it doesn’t appeal to me. I grew up here, my father supported Marseille and so did my mum. Paris wasn’t really in my daily life.” Pogba said there were “mental” issues for him to deal with at United as he addressed his relationship with Mourinho. “There were times when I wasn't playing. I was on the bench. Much has been spoken about,” he said. “People thought it was wrong but a coach and player don’t have to be best friends. One is not forced to go to the restaurant together. I had some problems – it’s mental. “He put me on the bench, I answered on the pitch, I give my maximum every time. It made me grow in leadership. “I had the armband with Mourinho, it was the first time in a club. It’s important to me, it makes me grow up to be as a leader in the France team.” Sanchez’s dismal form since his move from Arsenal in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been no less of a concern for United supporters. The Chile forward, who has scored three goals in 18 games for United, said in March that he had been left “psychologically and emotionally exhausted” by his early struggles at Old Trafford and he has now admitted he is finding it hard to adapt. United have been criticised for their functional, pedestrian football. Hit or miss? | Mourinho's United signings “I think that in every game I've played in I’ve maybe found it hard to adapt to the style of play and I’ve been getting to know my team-mates,” Sanchez told the official Cup final programme. “I believe we need to improve in all aspects. “We need to be focused and concentrated in the big games and the same in the so-called lesser games too. That’s what the great sides do and I think United are a great side, so that's what we need to do.” Sanchez was completely overshadowed by Chelsea’s Eden Hazard at Wembley and Paul Scholes, the former United midfielder, said the Chilean had to start offering a lot more. “His performances, well they have to improve,” he said. “They can’t get any worse to be honest with you. I think the next few games of next season are vital to him, he needs to get fans believing again and believing they are going to get close to City. They need a big player.” Meanwhile, AC Milan are increasingly optimistic about their prospects of signing Marouane Fellaini, who is out of contract at United next month.
